Glycogen, a hyperbranched polymer of glucose, plays a central role as an energy reserve across diverse organisms. In Escherichia coli, its biosynthesis is linked not only to energy storage but also to ...

Researchers discover that glycogen and N-linked glycans accumulate in fibrotic regions of the lung and may be important for therapy development. Ramon Sun, a biochemist at the University of Florida ...

This manuscript proposes a lateralized, lobe-specific brain-liver sympathetic neurocircuit regulating hepatic glucose metabolism and presents anatomical evidence for sympathetic crossover at the porta ...
